I think I've found a new thing to be my number one pet hate.
People who truly, utterly, and completely believe that they have the right
of way to move into your lane (over the top of you no less) just because
they have their blinker on.
Every morning I get some idiot or another doing it (the Woodville Rd, Church
St, M4, Parra Rd intersection is notorious for it).
They want to merge left, into my lane. They look (well, there is some saving
grace). See me there. Put there blinker on. And begin to move over. Then
when I honk etc, they look at me as if to say "What are you honking me for
you crazy bastard. Didn't you see my blinker? Clearly I have the right of
way."
I've even had a guy pull up next to me at the lights before, and tell me how
lucky I was he didn't hit me. "You would have had to pay for all the
damage." he said. "My blinker was on, I had the right of way."

(Ahh well, I guess the only reason he didn't hit me was 'cause I wasn't
speeding at the time.)
